Six Norms (Liù Yí)

Meaning 'upright and proper conduct'; traditionally auspicious for banquets, coming-of-age ceremonies, and assuming an official post.

Six Norms (Liù Yí) is an auspicious star in the old almanac, representing 'upright and proper conduct.' Traditionally, the Tong Shu (almanac) considers this day suitable for events that emphasize decorum and proper etiquette, such as formal banquets, coming-of-age ceremonies (Guan Ji), or assuming an official post. These occasions require adherence to specific rituals and order; the upright and proper qi of Six Norms is believed to help ensure the propriety and smooth progress of the events.
